Faithful Steward Ministries and FSM Women's Outreach

This article expounds the danger of letting the world into our churches. The Bible, as Jesus instructs in Matthew 28:18-20, makes it very clear that we are to go therefore into the world and make disciples, not bring therefore the world into our sanctuaries and hope their influence does not disturb the congregation. I may not be the brightest bulb 💡 around, but even a 10-watt light bulb knows you don’t let the fox loose in the hen house. When we bring worldly influences into the church, satan and his minions are licking their chops.

While this article focuses on the SBC, they are not the only denomination that has seen a steady increase in progressive (liberal) influences. I am convinced that this is why Acts 17:11 and 2 Timothy 2:15 are purposeful suggestions from the Apostles, made under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Local churches are facing coordinated efforts to restructure their ministries according to managerial and market-driven formulas.

This week, the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting delivered another series of setbacks for its conservative members. The proposed Law Amendment, which would have empowered the denomination’s credentials committee to remove churches from friendly cooperation for violating the Baptist Faith and Message by appointing female pastors, failed to pass. Similarly, an effort to dismantle the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the progressive-leaning lobbying arm of the denomination, also fell short of approval. While some conservatives interpret these outcomes as further evidence of a liberal shift within the Convention, they were not the most troubling developments to emerge this week.
